Round-up of insolvency events 2010/11
Posted on August 27, 2011
Things looked slightly better than in the previous season in simple terms of the number of insolvency events I have logged – ten events involving nine clubs, compared to twelve events each at a different club in the previous season – although there were still some large clubs involved.

The media focus was on Portsmouth because of its Premier League status. The club tried to make a case that the debt was in part to other clubs rather than […]

HMRC on the warpath big time
Posted on January 5, 2010
There is increasing evidence that HMRC are adopting a much more aggressive, and thereby less tolerant, policy towards football clubs, which is hardly surprising in the circumstances. Back in July they served a winding-up petition on King’s Lynn, to add to the serious problems the club was already facing, including enforced demotion (see postings passim […]
